Europelab

What Europelab does

Europelab is a Quebec-based B2B contract manufacturer of private label skincare and personal care products, operating as a division of Derme&Co. since 2016. The company manufactures cleansers, creams, toners, masks, serums, exfoliants, sun protection, chemical peels, and personal care products for beauty entrepreneurs, established brands, online retailers, wholesalers, distributors, and spa and medical professionals across Canada and the United States. Europelab holds ISO 9001, GMP (Health Canada), FDA, and COSMOS Organic (Ecocert Greenlife) certifications, and is positioned as the largest OEM manufacturer in North America of COSMOS Organic certified formulas.

The company's technology stack is anchored by two proprietary assets: the Diadermic Method, which optimizes active-ingredient delivery, and the patented BioLichen CosmosPreserve™ natural preservative system built around sustainably harvested wild Canadian lichens. Its 49+ in-stock formulas span a 24-formula Classic Collection and a 25-formula COSMOS-certifiable Organic Collection, with additional custom formulation capabilities. The manufacturing footprint includes a head office in St-Laurent, Quebec and a manufacturing facility in Pointe-Claire, Quebec.

Europelab monetizes through multiple B2B revenue streams: private label / white label manufacturing with opening orders of $3,000–$20,000 and reorder minimums of 36–100 units per SKU; custom formulations at $500–$2,000 per formula with a 1,500 unit MOQ; contract manufacturing for clients who own their own formulas; turnkey solutions bundled with digital marketing tools; and fee-based consultancy and regulatory affairs services. Go-to-market combines direct sales-led engagement, an application-based Brand Partnership Program for established brands, and earned visibility through Cosmetics Alliance Canada (where it holds a Board seat), CEW, Beauty Independent, and UPLINK partnerships.
